Reprise! Act 1!

[Carthrat]

"You, my friend, have a sick mind," says Carthrat. "I like that! Where'd you get them from?"

[Rezantis]

Relm blinked, then grinned.l

"Hey, they're your bowels . . . just make sure you're downwind of me."

[Ginnezumusha]

"Well, I wasn't thinking of actually farting... haven't you heard of the fireball spell or the stinking cloud spell?  I don't think I have enough for cloudkill."

Ginn rifes through his pockets.

[Carthrat]

"So, anyway, why the casting of most pugnant and deadly spells?" questions Carthrat. "A pressing need to blast something?"

[Ginnezumusha]

"I'm more comfortable with explosions.  Plus, I think there's someone following us.  And it's easier to shoot a target when its writhing on the ground some distance away, surrounded by a pale green mist."

[Carthrat]

"Oh. Someones following us?"

Carthrat looks around, haplessly. "I don't see anyone.."

[Rezantis]

Relm, sociable as ever, decides to help poor Carthrat.

"Behind that tree, you know, the one we passed a couple of minutes ago."

[Carthrat]

"Can I set it on fire?" replies Carthrat, eagerly.

[Rezantis]

Relm rolled her eyes.  "No."

[Carthrat]

"Oh. Ok," replies Carthrat, dropping to her knees, and producing a square, black object.

She quickly buries it underneath some handy dirt. "Ok, let's go!"

[Rezantis]

Relm . . . blinked, and followed Carthrat.

"What WAS that?"

[Carthrat]

"I *promise* it won't set anything on fire," replies Carthrat.

[Rezantis]

"I don't believe you."

[Carthrat]

"And I don't care, so we're even," replies Carthrat.

[Rezantis]

"Well, I'm not being a party to this.  If you're going to set the forest on fire, you do it RIGHT.  Like THIS."

Relm gestured and a small ball of fire appeared in her right hand, which she then threw back towards where she figured the person following the group was.
